It’s hard to believe that given a chance to name the best draft picks in the history of the Baltimore Ravens, Ray Lewis was not listed among the top five. Seriously? C’mon. How can you not put one of the greatest middle linebackers in the history of the NFL on the list of best all-time draft picks of a franchise that has won two Super Bowls in the past 14 years?Coincidentally...

If you have a few extra bucks lying around and want to own a very limited piece of sports memorabilia, then we have a deal for you.
Okay, we don’t have a deal but a Super Bowl ring sold yesterday at what seems like a reasonable price. According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, a Super Bowl ring belonging to former Baltimore running back Jamal Lewis sold at auction yesterday for $50,280...

Jamal Lewis filed for bankruptcy in 2012 and thus culminated a strange offbeat news cycle involving the former Browns and Ravens running back. In April 2010 we started to hear about Jamal Lewis’ financial issues, including a 2008 civil judgment against Lewis and some other defendants. At that time, it appeared that some of the investments that were weaved throughout the tangled...

Retired Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis wasn't a member of the last Ravens team to win a Super Bowl two years ago. But as a member of the club's Ring of Honor, Lewis received a Super Bowl ring from Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti.
Those gaudy Super Bowl rings can be worth a lot of money. How much? We can say for certain that Lewis' ring is worth $50,820 -- because that's how...

Former Baltimore Ravens’ running back Jamal Lewis’ Super Bowl ring sold at an auction on Sunday for $50,820.
The ring came from the Ravens’ Super Bowl XLVII win over the San Francisco 49ers and was given to Lewis by owner Steve Bisciotti when the former running back was inducted into the Ravens’ Ring of Honor.
During his six years with the Ravens, from 2000-2006 (missed...

When was the last time there was a truly wide open MVP race? Most awards are decided nearly unanimously. Peyton Manning last year, Aaron Rodgers in 2011, Tom Brady in 2010 and 2007, and so on. Occasionally, we’ll get a close race, but it’ll be between only two players, like in 2012 between Manning and Adrian Peterson, or Shaun Alexander’s win over Manning in 2005.
The last...

I don’t know why I thought this celebration was old school Jamal Lewis on Twitter, but everyone set me straight. Repeatedly. Something about seeing it on the football field caused a brain fart, but this is Terrance West emulating LeBron James after scoring a first quarter touchdown for the Cleveland Browns over West’s hometown Baltimore Ravens.
All week long, Terrance West...

Kurt Warner, Junior Seau, Orlando Pace and Jamal Lewis are among the 15 first-year eligible modern-era candidates who have been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2015. The complete list of 113 nominees was announced by the Hall on Tuesday evening.
This year's modern-era nominees list includes 98 players and 14 coaches. To be considered, a modern-era candidate...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) Dawan Landry remembers the hit, when his head collided with Jamal Lewis' knee.
And then, he felt nothing.
Face down on the ground during the second quarter of the second game of the season against the Cleveland Browns in 2008, the then-Baltimore Ravens safety couldn't move his legs. Or his arms. Or anything else.
''I was just thinking, `Man, we were having...

At the Bacon, Sports & Beer Celebration RedEye Chicago is sponsoring the pop-a-shot hoops. To help get you excited here’s a video of a guy who holds the Pop-A-Shot World Record straight crushing by making 166 in one session. At the Celebration we will be giving away prizes for the guy and girl that score the highest at pop-a-shot over the course of the party. That means...

“They said, ‘Give Jamal the Ball.’ The first time he touches it, 82-yards to the house.”
Give Jamal the Ball. That was the motto spreading around Baltimore during the 2003 season. The above quote was the play-by-play announcer’s after Jamal Lewis got the first chunk of his place in Canton.
He would go on to rush for 295 yards that September day against the Cleveland Browns...

As it stands today, Jamal Lewis is the best running back the Baltimore Ravens have ever drafted. Now you may be able to make a case for Ray Rice but Jamal Lewis has the better numbers plain and simple. Perhaps in two or three years, if Rice turns out some solid seasons, then maybe we can come back to the table and discuss it. Forget everything off of the field with Jamal Lewis, between...

The Baltimore Ravens don’t have a long history in the NFL unlike their Maryland neighbors, the Washington Redskins. They have been in the league for only nineteen seasons, ever since Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell decided to move the team to Baltimore in 1995.
Despite this, they’ve amassed two Super Bowl championships (in 2000 and 2012). They have also produced...
